Books for Dads - You mean I'm Supposed to READ?!


Hey Dads,

Here is a quick list of good family shaping books designed to help parents be better parents. These 3 books are sure to press issues and realizations like no other books dare.   


Family Driven Faith by Voddie Baucham: Published by Crossway Books

This is, hands-down, the best read of the year for dads [and we read many books in a year's time]. As a dad, this book will challenge like no other book has before. Within the first chapter dads will find numerous ways to change mannerisms and motives in raising children. We don't want to reveal too much in this post! If we at TheDaddyDisciple had to chose between buying this book and eating lunch, we would be starving right now! Don't pass this book up.



Raising Godly Children in an Ungodly World by Ken Ham and Steve Ham: Published by Master Books.

During your journey through this book you will learn:
1.  Ways for your family to survive our current culture.
2.  How to educate children with Biblical guidance.
3.  Tips for raising them up spiritually healthy.
4.  Solutions to the root cause of dysfunctional families.
5.  How to cultivate Biblical authority as a parent.
6.  Ways to discipline your child.


Already Gone by Ken Ham and Britt Beemer: Published by Master Books.

This book reveals the hard and cold facts of young teenagers learning to become young adults and losing God along the way. The facts, as you will find in this book, give way to the realization of our failure as dads. Fathers should be the primary Biblical teachers of their own children. Ouch! But true....
Here just one statistic from this book: 89% of children that have grown up in a church will leave their religion by their Sophomore year of college. 89%! What has happened?  This book will reveal the answer to this question.



We are currently reading and will be posting our reviews of these books within the next couple of months, but we tell you: We've been wounded already by the deep lacerations contained within the pages of these books! While awaiting the reviews, run on out, pick them up off the shelves, grab a large spoon, and dig in. You will not be disappointed!
